Change up your slaw with this fun, spicy twist on coleslaw from Kim Kushner’s newest book The Modern Table.
Editor’s Note: We shared Kim’s 15 Minute Herb Crusted Fish…and we thought what better to pair it with than a new, fresh slaw? This slaw, from Kim’s new book, The Modern Table, is such a nice change from the typical overly sweet versions! If you have a family that loves a little kick, we know they’ll love to crunch on this creative, refreshing version.
Can you handle the heat? I LOVE spicy food—and funny enough, all my favorite people in this world love spicy food too. Coincidence? A little heat and a hint of crunch perk up this hearty salad—it’s a blast of flavor and texture with every mouthful.
